    Chapter 429 The tangled coalition forces

    "What? How could this happen?" Yang Zilu looked at Yu Cuo kneeling below, feeling indescribable shock in her heart.  In this battle, more than 4,700 Han soldiers were killed and captured, and only about 5,000 soldiers broke out. However, more than 3,000 of these soldiers who broke out were injured.  It can be said that the Han army in Yangyang has been defeated. It is the first time in the history of the Han Dynasty that it has suffered such a heavy defeat.

    But this was not what shocked Yang Zilu so much. What shocked Yang Zilu was Mi Yang's death in battle.  The soldiers died in battle and could be trained, but because Han had risen so quickly, there were not many capable and loyal generals.  And Mi Yang was one of these few, and Yang Zilu couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

    "Please forgive me, Your Majesty!" Xi Cuo knocked his head hard on the ground. Even though he was bleeding, Xi Cuo still seemed not to notice.

    "Get up!" Yang Zilu held up her hands.

    ????????????? But Yu Cuo felt guilty, and even though he was forgiven by Yang Zilu, he still knelt down.

    "Come here, give me the order!" Yang Zilu said nothing more, and at the same time calmed down.  He knew that anyone could be confused and panic now, but he couldn't.  Because he is the Emperor of the Han Empire!

    "Promise!" Hou Xiong stood solemnly.

    "I will posthumously make Yu Yang the lieutenant general of the empire, the new Uncle Cai! His son Yu Cuo will be named the middle doctor!" Yang Zilu said, closing his eyes and waving his hands.

    No one in the tent said anything, including Xi Cuo, they all silently bowed to Yang Zilu and exited the tent.

    The next day, Yang Zilu gave an order that everyone could not believe.

    "I'm tired! Let's go back to our country!"

    Yang Zilu is actually tired!  Is this still Your Majesty?  How could Your Majesty do this?

    Compared with this, what shocked them even more was that Yang Zilu actually ordered the withdrawal of troops!  This is a troop withdrawal!  It¡¯s not the class teacher¡¯s return to the court!  Since the founding of the Han Dynasty, they had almost forgotten this word from their minds. Unexpectedly, this word actually reappeared today, and it appeared so suddenly.

    Yang Tugou came out.  "Your Majesty! Your Majesty needs your Majesty to avenge his death in battle! How can your Majesty be so discouraged at this time? Please take back your life!"

    "Your Majesty! What General Yang said makes sense! Your Majesty, please take back your order!" Ji Yong stood up immediately after Yang Tugou.

    The generals in the tent all stood up, bowed their heads, and said with cupped hands: "Your Majesty, please take back your orders!"

    "Have you stopped listening to my orders?" Yang Zilu's words were full of fatigue, but her voice was like a thunderbolt.

    No one in the tent dared to speak. They all looked at each other and encouraged each other to be the leader with their eyes.  It's just that Yang Zilu's authority in the Han Dynasty was too high, so high that no one dared to object. In the end, the military discussion ended in silence.

    ?¡­Xincai¡­

    "What!? Are you kidding? The Han army actually retreated?" When Zhiyao heard the news, she felt like she should ask a doctor to diagnose her ears.  Oh no!  It should be to diagnose whether there is something wrong with the scout's head.  Although the Han army's 10,000-strong army was severely damaged, the Han army was not injured and its combat effectiveness was still very strong. So it just retreated like this?

    "It's the real marshal! When the villain went to investigate, the Han army had already retreated for a long time. The villain still didn't believe it, so he asked several savages nearby (people living in the wild) for repeated questioning, and then he dared to report to the marshal!" Scout  He said with some timidity, obviously even he, who had seen it with his own eyes, couldn't believe it, and he was even more afraid that Zhiyao would be angry with him.

    Zhiyao glanced at the scout and calmed down. He believed that the scout would never dare to lie to him on this matter. The scout did not have the guts yet.  So why did Yang Zilu retreat?  It shouldn¡¯t be!  The Han army can definitely still fight head-on with the coalition forces, and will Yang Zilu let go of Shi Qi, his enemy?

    When did Yang Zilu become so broad-minded?

    "Marshal, what do you think of this news" Zhao Wuxie stood up and looked at Zhiyao and asked. Although he hadn't finished speaking, his meaning was already obvious.

    "It should be true! It's just that Yang Zilu did this" Zhiyao said, her brows suddenly became tangled uncontrollably.

    "I think Yang Zilu is afraid of us!" Zheng Shenggong, the king of Zheng, said excitedly, but he soon found that no one agreed with his words, and everyone looked at him as if they were an idiot.  This made Zheng Shenggong very angry. He had no choice but to offend these people, so he didn't have to mess around. Zheng Shenggong could only lower his head in frustration.

    "I think this should be a trap!" Wei Ju stood up and expressed his opinion.

    "Well! What you say makes sense! Yang Zilu is treacherous and cunning, so we have to guard against him!" Zhiyao nodded, but from his words, it can be understood thatIt was obvious that he didn't agree with Wei Ju's words.

    "I think it has something to do with Yang Zilu's experience during this period!" Han Hu said.

    "Oh?" Zhiyao looked at Han Hu with questioning eyes.

    "I heard a rumor yesterday. It is said that Yang Zilu said that he was very tired. Think about it, Yang Zilu has been fighting for years since the founding of the Han Dynasty. Last year, he suffered an unprecedented disaster. Only a short time after Yang Zilu returned to China, he started fighting again.  ? Could it be that because of Ya Yang's death, Yang Zilu felt tired and wanted to take a good rest?" Han Hu said.

    Zhiyao said nothing, intertwined his fingers and pondered for a long time.  "Do you think Yang Zilu is trying to delay time? We are a large army united by several princes. Food supplies are also inconvenient. The longer the delay is, the more beneficial it will be for Yang Zilu. If we wait for our troops to withdraw and return home,  If Yang Zilu raises his troops again, even if we want to rescue Dong Chu, we may be unable to do so!"

    Zhao Wuxie¡¯s eyes lit up and he said, ¡°This should be possible!¡±

    "But it may also lead us to take the initiative to fight and ambush halfway! If we pursue the Han army, it will be difficult to conduct careful reconnaissance along the way. There is a high chance that the Han army's ambush will be hidden from us! And once it is hidden, the coalition forces may" Wei  Ju reminded solemnly.

    When everyone in the tent heard this, they immediately became silent. This is really a tangled question!

    If Yang Zilu is allowed to leave, then the coalition forces will really not know what to do.  Continue further?  There are Huai River and Ying River as natural dangers, making it difficult to go south.  Besides, the grain road was too long at that time.  Everyone in the world knows how powerful the Han cavalry is. If the Han army sends cavalry to harass the grain roads, it will really make the coalition forces miserable.

    For a time, everyone in the tent looked at each other, and no one dared to speak.  Even Zheng Shenggong, a big fool, knew that he had to be careful about what he said on this issue.

    PS: Sorry, it was originally three to four thousand words.  But I¡¯m too busy chatting with readers in the QQ group!  But there is also good news. It will be updated continuously from now on until the end of the book.  But the number of words may not be too many, please forgive me!
